An Edwardian Family Album

23 October 2009 — 3 May 2010 *on now

This exhibition gives a fascinating glimpse into the life and leisure time of a Wirral family during the Edwardian era. The pictures were taken by Jack Urton, a keen amateur photographer, who lived in Birkenhead and later in Bebington. We see his family at home, with relatives and friends, and on days out in Wirral and further afield.
Early 20th century improvements in technology meant that photography entered the domestic setting, showing people more relaxed and spontaneous.
This intimate view of an Edwardian family evokes a bygone age, resonating with a familiarity that recalls our own family photographs.
